single drum hits(especialy snares)

heya, im having problems finding good sounding individual snare hit. im trying to layer up with some breaks and some separate drum hits. ive found a half decent kick but having real problems finding a good snare.
dus anyone have a link with any good sounds?
cheers

put some 100-150hz frequency on it and just keep layering and layering and layering, add a short shaker into the snare aswell, finger snaps and claps can work nicely too i usually have about 30 layers for my drum loops nowadays, 10 for kicks, 10 for snares and 10 for high frequency stuff like hi hats. lots of old 80's tunes have sick snares in so try and find some to sample, hope i was some help

i usually take a break and take the bits i want and then rearrange them, although sometimes a break fits perfectly but i still add loads of yummy high pass to it, i find the latter can be very effective

10 kicks and 10 snares all layered up on top of each other?! thats way too much mate!

its all about getting ur hands on some nice clean samples, hip hop kicks and snare work well for dnb too, as the saying goes you can't polish a turd, its all about getting your hands on good quality samples. u can make a good dnb beat with only one kick and one snare, really pump em up and then layer ur breaks (high pass works well to allow room for other beat elements), hihats, ghost hits etc etc and build that way

unfortunately i have no links at the mo for what i see to be really good clean samples, i bought jungle warfare refill years ago and that has some half decent ones in there (although i've over used them, need to get my hands on more!)
